Analysis of CZTSSe Monograin Layer Solar Cells

, 2011
Monograin layer (MGL) solar cell combines the features of a monocrystalline solar cell and a thin film solar cell. The photoactive layer is formed from the kesterite-stannite semiconductor Cu2SnZn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) material with the single-crystalline grains embedded into the epoxy resin (Altosaar et al., 2003).

Insight into the Impact of Wide Bandgap Transparent Conducting Oxide on the Performance of Thin Film Solar Cells

Small, EarlyView.
Mg‐ and Ga‐codoped ZnO has emerged as an effective wide‐bandgap transparent conducting oxide for kesterite thin‐film solar cells, combining high transmittance with favorable electrical properties. By enabling near‐flat band alignment, reduced defect‐assisted recombination, and improved electron transport, Mg‐ and Ga‐codoped ZnO enhances the ...

Mapping Shunting Paths at the Surface of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 Films via Energy-Filtered Photoemission Microscopy

iScience, 2018
Summary: The performance of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin-film solar cells, commonly referred to as kesterite or CZTSSe, is limited by open-circuit voltage (VOC) values less than 60% of the maximum theoretical limit. In the present study, we employ energy-filtered

Extreme radiation hard thin film CZTSSe solar cell

, 2018
In this work, we have demonstrated the extreme radiation hardness of thin film CZTSSe solar cells. Thin film solar cells with CZTSSe, CZTS and CIGS absorber layers were irradiated with 3 MeV protons. No degradation in device parameters was observed until

RF Electromagnetic Field Treatment of Tetragonal Kesterite CZTSSe Light Absorbers [PDF]

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2017
In this work, we propose a method to improve electro-optical and structural parameters of light-absorbing kesterite materials. It relies on the application of weak power hydrogen plasma discharges using electromagnetic field of radio frequency range, which improves homogeneity of the samples. The method allows to reduce strain of light absorbers and is

Efficient Kesterite Solar Cells via Scalable Doctor‐Blading of 2‐Methoxyethanol‐Based Molecular Ink

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
A new record efficiency of 13.26% has been achieved for doctor‐bladed CZTSSe solar cells, fabricated for the first time from an MOE‐based molecular ink in ambient air. Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin‐film solar cells have garnered significant interest owing to their appealing properties, such as earth‐abundant composition, environmental friendliness, high

A Comparative Numerical Modeling of High‐Efficient CBTS Solar Cell Using SCAPS‐1D

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The highest efficiency achieved is 18.42%, 21.51%, and 21.6% for optimized CBTS/CdS/FTO, CBTS/SnS2/FTO, and CBTS/Cd0.1Zn0.9S/FTO solar cell, respectively. The results prove that low‐toxic Cd0.1Zn0.9S buffer layer provides best performance among all three buffer layers and SnS2 buffer layer also shows promising results.
